ears all. adapted to engage and travel 1 1n: the grooves M Without regard to thelr body dimensions. The magazine entrance E is divided into channels by the'partitions N, and is provided with inner and outer plates B and A, the outer plate A having the pivotally mounted member or gate 1, a all inthe ordinary manner In order that the matrices may be properly guided into the magazine, the entrance channels near their lower ends are provided With means to engage the matrix ears latorally, in a manner substantially similar to that disclosed in the said Butts "application, except that therein these guiding means are specifically illustrated as formed upon the entrance partitions. In the present in- 'stance, l locate the guides P for the front ears Xi of the matrices upon the movable gate P, and the guides N for the rear ears upon the partitions N.

As in the Butts construction, the matrices X in passing through the entrance E are guidedby the lateral contact of these guides P and N with their ears X so that the ears are directed accurately and with certainty into the magazine grooves M M, of

the magazine, and this quite irrespective of the body thicknesses of the matrices.

The particular advantage involved in my improved construction are: first, that the opening of the gate P displaces the connected guides P, so as to g1ve ready access to the interior and facilitate the manipulation ofthe contained matrices; and, second, that if an attempt be made to shift the magazine entrance as a Whole with refer ence to the magazine, at a time when a ma trix or matrices are lodged in engagement with both of them, the gate P will yield and thus revent hendin or brcalnwe. 1 l3 b lhese advantages and points of convenience menace- Having thus described my invention, its construction and mode of operation, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Putent of the United States is as follows:

1. In a typographical machine, the combination of a channeled magazine, and a separate matrix delivery entrance therefor having a series of channels, one for each channel of the magazine, the said entrance being provided with a movable part formed with guiding portions projecting partly across its channels to engage the matrices and insure their proper entrance into the magazine.

2. A channeled matrix delivery'entrance comprising top and bottom Walls, one of said walls being provided with a part formed with matrix guiding surfaces projecting partly across the channels, and the said part being movable relatively to the remaining part of the wall.

3. In a typographical machine, the combination of a channeled magazine, and a matrix delivery entrance therefor comprising inner and outer plates and aseries of upon one of the plates, and in part upon the partitions.

5. In a t pographical machine comprising matrices termed with projecting cars, a channeled magazine entrance comprising inner and outer plates and a series of intermediate partitions and having guiding surfaces located upon one of said plates and projecting artly across the channels to engage only t e ears of the matrices.

lln testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand this 19th day of June, 1912, in the presence of two attesting Witnesses.
